Overview
- The NHL Department of Player Safety reviewed Tom Wilson’s neutral-zone hit on Filip Chytil and determined there will be no supplemental discipline, aligning with the in-game review that removed an initial major.
- Vancouver placed Filip Chytil and Jonathan Lekkerimäki on injured reserve retroactive to Oct. 19, and both returned to Vancouver with team medical staff for further evaluation.
- Nils Höglander moved to long-term injured reserve retroactive to Oct. 7, providing cap relief after his preseason surgery and continued absence.
- The Canucks recalled Joseph LaBate and Jimmy Schuldt from AHL Abbotsford and assigned Victor Mancini, who must play an AHL game before any future recall under new CBA rules.
- GM Patrik Allvin said Teddy Blueger is doubtful for Tuesday in Pittsburgh and Brock Boeser’s return is possible, as the 4-2-0 Canucks juggle centre depth and near-term lineup needs.
